River Fit 2024: Forever Fit with Cindy Sullivan

The Esplanade Association in partnership with Beacon Hill Village presents Forever Fit with Cindy Sullivan at Fiedler Field on the Charles River Esplanade. This fun, outdoor class on Fiedler Field on the Esplanade will include a full-body workout that prioritizes the needs of older adults and beginners, with focused attention on efficient body mechanics and injury prevention. We will offer a variety of exercises that will increase your muscle strength, range of motion, and make you more durable for daily activities. Not only will you feel stronger, but you’ll notice an increase in your energy level.

We will do some lower impact cardio, strength training with resistance bands, balance/flow, and some light stretching at the end. Bring water, a towel, and a resistance band--if you do not have one, we can provide one for you. A limited number of chairs will be provided.

We encourage participants to registered before every class and to bring their own water bottle. Please cancel if you can no longer attend. Forever Fit will take place every Tuesday from 10:30am to 11:30am starting on July 16 and ending on August 27 on the following dates:

• July 16
• July 23
• July 30
• August 6
